Democratic Preview: Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island

April 26th is looking very much like March 15th on the Democratic side. Both dates boast five state contests and many other parallels as well. Like Florida on March 15, Maryland seems to be Clinton’s best state tomorrow. She won’t quite win by her Florida like margin but she will rack up her biggest win. Like North Carolina, Delaware has been overlooked. No one thinks it will be competitive but it could produce less of a delegate haul for Clinton than might be expected. Pennsylvania is Ohio. If the national race was truly close Pennsylvania would be too. But Pennsylvania looks like about a 10-point for Clinton, win making it very similar to Ohio. Connecticut is like Illinois. Just like Chicago’s unpopular mayor dragged down the level of expected Democratic machine support, Connecticut’s unpopular Democratic governor could hamper Clinton’s efforts. It looks quite close with the slightest of edges to Clinton. Rhode Island looks like a replay of Missouri as a toss up state. Clinton swept on March 15th and she could again. But the slightest headwind and she could win only three out of five. We think she sweeps but are not 100% sold.  Of course, none of it changes the overall delegate math. Clinton will add to her already formidable lead.

The Scorecard

The Scorecard

The Scorecard is a political strategy and analysis blog. Our hope is to provide information and insight that can be found nowhere else into how and why things are happening in American politics. Unlike many political pundits, we will tell you who we think is going to win as an election approaches; we will tell you why; and we will give you a sense of our level of confidence. Ours is a holistic approach, one that takes in as many numbers as possible but is also willing to look past the numbers if need be. When we turn out to have been wrong, we will let you know. When we are right, we’ll let you know that too.
